I know this was somewhere in here but, I can't find it. I just got a 2020 Escape SE. The sales woman promised a cargo cover. That came in but they don't know how to install it. I saw a few pics of it already installed in here. I searched a lot of different ways but, still couldn't find it. Can someone either point me in the right direction or put a pic of yours already installed?

Welcome to the board. I do not have that model. However, if it is setup like my 2016 and 2018, there should be indentations on the left and right side near the rear seat top looking from the back that the cover assembly fits into. My assembly is spring loaded and requires just a litttle side movement to allow it to fit into those indentations. Ii could be different for the 2020.

Totally new design for the 2020....I ordered the cargo shade with my vehicle....it came installed. Hopefully this helps. IIRC there’s a post on this forum saying the clips don’t come standard without the shade....I don’t know if that’s true or what thread it was on. Btw unbelievable that a dealer doesn’t know this....push them harder to do their job!

1) replace 2 or 3 entire interior trim panels (depending if it is using the new updated gate hooks from jon_688’s references post, or the original clip style earlier in that thread).

2) have the files referenced earlier in that thread printed on a 3D printer and attach them. (If you do this, make sure they’re printed out of a material that can withstand interior car heat in summer).

since the dealer sold it to you and ordered the cover promising to make it work, you might be able to put them on the hook for replacing the necessary trim panels.

FWIW, inability to install options isn't limited to the cargo cover. I have a factory-installed block heater whose harness was not routed before delivery. The dealer is clueless; their "solution" uses 1/2 the harness mounting clips, and the plug is not accessible with the hood closed. It's not hard to see where it's supposed to go....

Thanks!! Bought the car as long as it had one. Sales lady promised it would happen. Now, they have the shade and are ordering the rest of the parts and will install them. She said all together, it was around $600.

i searched the PN on google and found the lowest price from many different ford dealers both locally and distant. I got it for $115. You can also use the FordPass rewards to order it if you don’t want to use those for scheduled maintenance (I got the maintenance plan thrown in with the car). But to do that you’ll need to go in person to the maintenance department and order the part there.

This is the PN, note that you’ll also need the attachment pieces, those can be 3D printed from a file in the “things you don’t like about the escape” thread.

as of the early models, yes. They all have this flat circle.
I’ve been having trouble with 2 aspects:

1) the 3D printed plastics are warping in the California heat.

Making an attachment knob out of metal/wood now, and going to bend some metal straps for the other attachment points.

2) can’t seem to get sticky pads to stay stuck to the car interior panels in those flat circles. The glue weakens (possibly
Also the heat) on the 3M adhesives I bought. Debating what I want to do about the adhesive

That is interesting. One site I visited to 3D print those parts suggested the thickness be increased on the straps to prevent breakage or warping. The pieces could be produced with several different material to include metal (pricey as all get out). I was thinking polyamide MJF.

Also in my mind, I was thinking about how to come behind the flat spot and drive a screw into the knob.

The shield running $120ish and the knobs and straps about $25 with printing seemed worth it, if it works on a more permanent basis.

At speeds above 45 MPH, and when the wind is really blowing, I'm getting a resonance-like noise through the moonroof - sounds like a leak. My tech checked it out, confirmed the issue, and did say there was a notice on the Ford Tech hotline about it, but I'm waiting for new weatherstripping to...

I went to put on my new tags for my Titanium Hybrid, and I was really put off by the cheapness of the front plate bracket. It's held on by two screws at the bottom and there are two clips on the top that are supposed to latch into the grill, but mine don't latch at all, leaving the plate and...

Just received my Smartliner floor liners and cargo liner from amazon. The cost was 157.00 with prime. They are listed on the smart liner site for 229.
Also, on amazon, the price has been reduced to 84.81 with prime, so it's free delivery, ordered today (5/15) with delivery on Tuesday. They...

Picked up a 2020 Escape SEL (black on black) this week, and the first thing I thought about doing was ditching the blue ovals for black/chrome.
Does anyone know how to remove the front/rear Ford ovals, and does anyone know which emblems can be used for replacements?
